yeah 2 to 3 trailers on Aus roads. One for the centre structure and sweeps, and one for the cars and platforms (I think Witts used to roughly fit on 2.5)

The Dreamworld one in my opinion is pretty shoddy when you compare it to the HUSS one - chalk and cheese - like comparing a formula 1 car to a Daewoo. Cars are awkard and uncomfortable, and the movement is jerky and clunky. Huss cars are large and spacious and the movement, acceleration, lifting, lowering, and braking is fluid smooth - it is an absolute A1 flawless design.

FYI, most of Holden's lineup are actually Daewoo cars

Dream World's Enterprise is very noisy and doesn't offer a long or fast ride any more. Huss's version is fantastic and I for one can't wait to see it on the road again.

Not so sure it ever will be on the road again - it is a big ride to transport. Unless Wittingslow sell it on to another owner, I think at best, it will appear at their Rye Xmas carnival (which I for one, will be very happy about)

here's a few, operating at Royal Melb around 1999. The others taken when it was being set up for the World's Carnival in Hong Kong.
